The new IxB tool family includes the Tensor ICB and Tensor ITB cordless nutrunners. Both models feature a controller integrated directly in the unit.
This page presents the smart Tensor ITB cordless nutrunner. We explain why this tool can tighten joints up to 60 percent faster and why its performance is comparable with that of corded tools.
You will find information on the other IxB model, the Tensor ICB here.
The ITB-A basics
The Tensor ITB-A from Atlas Copco Tools is a cordless nutrunner with a controller integrated directly in the tool. Compared with the smaller ICB model, the ITB is a more powerful tool designed for considerably higher torque values.
The Tensor ITB-A was designed for agile, flexible assembly and rapid assembly line changeovers. Despite its high performance, the ITB features a compact, ergonomic design, allowing access to joints in confined spaces in production. It is therefore well-suited for a variety of assembly tasks.
The Tensor ITB-A is extremely adaptable and users can choose from three battery options (14, 18 or 36 V), as well as a wide range of accessories such as scanners or localization tags.
The Tensor ITB-A offers considerably faster tightening and performance comparable with corded tools.
The cordless nutrunner with the performance of a corded tool
The Tensor ITB-A features a newly developed ActiDrive drive unit. ActiDrive technology optimizes passive cooling of the tool and prevents ITB tools from overheating in demanding applications. As a result, the power and performance of the Tensor ITB-A are comparable with those of corded tools. In addition, all the tools in the IxB family feature a gyroscope integrated in the tool. It is therefore no longer necessary to fix the tool in place, for example for angle-controlled tightening. This reduces the weight of the tool and makes handling easier.
Compared with our previous generation of Tensor STB nutrunners, the Tensor ITB-A models allow joints to be tightened up to 60% faster. That means a considerable improvement in productivity and process efficiency. Combined with the optional display of the Tensor ITB-A, worker feedback and process integration are lifted to an entirely new level.
Flexible, future-proof assembly
Like all the other tools in the IxB family, the Tensor ITB-A does not need a separate physical controller. This means that you can massively reduce your hardware requirements. You save costs and valuable space in your assembly stations. The Tensor ITB-A nutrunners have the same high-quality angled heads as the Tensor STR nutrunners; these are among the smallest and most precise units on the market.
Another benefit of the IxB series is connectivity. These innovative cordless nutrunners feature a unique Wi-Fi analysis tool implemented in the tool software. In areas with fluctuating radio reception, you can use this tool to identify possible causes of service interruption.
You can adapt the functions of the nutrunner to the specific requirements of your assembly processes and configure the ideal Tensor ITB-A nutrunner for your applications. And, should you need additional functions later, Atlas Copco offers easy installation and trouble-free scaling.
